Phil Hill, born in Miami Florida in 1927, became Americas first Formula One world champion in 1961. That year a new one and a half litre formula was introduced and Ferrari contested the championship with their new 156 sharknose. The team claimed five victories out of eight races of the season including the spectacular Ferrari 1-2-3-4 finish in the Belgium Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps with Phil Hill driving the winning car from pole position. The World Championship battle was fought that season between Phil Hill and team mate Wolfgang von Tripp but Hills three victories provided him the winning margin.

Ferraris successful season was marred by the tragic death of Wolfgang von Tripp following an incident during the penultimate race of the season at Monza.
The car had a 1,477cc all alloy V6 engine with double overhead camshafts, 2 valves per cylinder. Transmission was via 5 speed transaxle with air cooled clutch. The space frame chassis had inboard brakes and wire wheels.
The stunning build quality of this 1:12th scale model is obvious and the attention to detail sets Alistair Brookman as one of the best model builders in the world. The car comes with fully working suspension and steering and has two removable body sections which reveal the completely replicated interior. Note the use of aluminium, steel, brass and copper to the body and chassis. The cars sits on solid silicon rubber tyres set around steel wired wheels. The gear box sections, cam shaft covers and other parts of the engine are cast from aluminium. Then all parts joining faces are machined and holes are drilled etc. The body panels and seat are aluminium. Parts such as the chassis, suspension, pedals, gear change, radiator and wheels are made of brass. The other numerous small parts are either brass or aluminium. What the original car had, so will this model!

Alistair Brookman's models have been described in magazines as being eagerly sought by connoisseurs and investors alike. These models are serious works of art and wonderful representations of historically important Grand Prix Ferraris. His model making business comes from an obsession with Grand Prix racing, having raced cars himself and due to his work as an engineering draughtsman.

The models take about 6 months to make, on top of having to allow time for the preparations of the drawings, building of the jigs and patterns and so on. However, this example comes from a private source and is naturally already built. It is in excellent condition and is now for sale.
